According to Wise Geek:

The phrase "sweating like a pig" actually has nothing to do with the animal that you might find on a farm. Instead, it refers to iron "sows" and "piglets" made when smelting pig iron. In traditional iron smelting, liquid iron is poured into a mold shaped like one long line with many smaller lines branching off of it at right angles. This looks similar to piglets feeding from their mother, so these pieces became known as pigs. After the pigs are poured into the sand, they cool, causing the surrounding air to reach its dew point and turn into moisture on the pigs, like they are sweating. When the pig is sweating, it's cool enough to be moved.

Personally, I prefer to be . . . "Cool as a Cucumber."

It is currently 88, down from 91. It has been a sunny, hot, humid day.

We're in the NC mtns.  It's a balmy breese 80 degrees all days which may drift down to 75 degrees!  Everyone is invited to sit in the woods and have a glass of tea or a martini!!!!!!

So far today in Phoenix it's 108 with this weekend around 118. After 105 it doesn't make a whole lot of difference anymore.
